history

In 985 the place Chrenginpach was used as the site of a baptistery of St. Stephanus first mentioned in a document. Chrengelbach can be found in 1160 in a document from the Reichersberg am Inn monastery. At the time of the Reformation , many residents professed the Lutheran faith. The parish was subordinate to the sovereignty of the parish St. Marienkirchen ad P. During the Counter-Reformation , Empress Maria Theresa had a mission station built as a measure by the Catholics.

In 1784 Krenglbach became an independent parish again. The Kapsamer family provided the schoolmasters in the parish school run by St. Florian Monastery from 1688 to 1823 . Some members of this family were the creators of many painted country furniture known as Gunskirchner furniture.

In 1861 the Wels – Passau railway line was opened, from which the Aschacher Bahn branches off in the Haiding district .

coat of arms

Official description of the municipal coat of arms: In gold on a green, three-fold corrugated shield base, inside a silver corrugated strip, a red, abutting paw cross split by a pole. The municipality colors are green-white-green.

The municipal coat of arms was awarded in 1984 by the Upper Austrian provincial government. With the paw cross it shows the coat of arms of the St. Florian monastery, to which the parish Krenglbach belongs since the Middle Ages. The dichotomy symbolizes the two Christian denominations in the community, of which Protestantism was widespread at the time of the Reformation. The wave ledge stands for the eponymous Krenglbach.
